Metropolis Featured in "15 of America's best small towns and cities" article


(WMOK) Metropolis, IL – We learned this morning while scanning Facebook that Metropolis was mentioned as one of the 15 best small towns and cities in America.

The article notes that “A lot of that nostalgia is stoked by popular culture. From fictional cinematic stars like Amity Island (“Jaws”) and Bedford Falls (“It’s a Wonderful Life”) to TV towns like Hawkins (“Stranger Things”) and Twin Peaks, small-town life looms large on the small and silver screens.”

The United States boasts tens of thousands of towns and cities with fewer than 50,000 people – of which, our Metropolis is one.

Along with Metropolis the article included  Gloucester, Massachusetts – Saranac Lake, New York – Mackinac Island Village, Michigan – Friday Harbor, Washington and Volcano, Hawaii among others.
